I liked the first season but as it surged in popularity Rick became a Mary Sue

I'll have to check it outNo. Although, R&M is awesome too. The new season is coming out in May.
It has lots of Easter eggs and callbacks to other series & characters. One needs a keen eye to spot them all. The USS Titan with Capt. Riker makes it's canonical appearance in the series too.I'll have to check it out
Hardly. Rick was a very flawed character, but the smartest man in the universe.I liked the first season but as it surged in popularity Rick became a Mary Sue
Lol, talk about dei. I think one of the reasons the original was so loved and is till around, DEI.My thoughts (I have not watched much of the new stuff)
TOS- oh boy, there are some of the best Star Trek here. Absolute classics like The City of the Edge of Forever, Balance of Terror, Journey to Babel, The Trouble with tribbles, Mirror Mirror, Amok Time and Let that be your last Battlefield. But then it also just have some of the worst Drek. And no Spock's Brain is not the worst Trek episode, because at least Spock's brain is funny. And there is so many things in TOS that's just creepy, usually because of Roddenberry. Seriously, screw Roddenberry.
TNG.... -okay, TNG is great, but also there is the first two seasons..... Especially Season 1 is a hard watch with alot of pure Drek. Season 2 is a little better and has classics like Measure of a Man. From Season 3 onwards TNG is mostly good, but each Season has some Drek you just want to skip. Actually TNG started to get better once Roddenberry was "kicked upstairs". Imagine that.
DS9- my favorite, an alternative take on Trek that still fits within the universe of TNG. DS9 i the show that goes alot into the politics of the Federation and various alien civilizations. It's the most continuity driven off the old Trek shows. It's not perfect but it's vvery much my Trek show that I enjoy the most.
Voyager- I feel Voyager should have been good. But there are many things hampering it. A weaker cast, trying too much to just be TNG, basically wasting the premise of being a lost Federtation ship far from home, often blamed for making the Borg lame, but the problem here is the Borg was always inevitably becoming lame, because the more you show them the lamer they get. Voyager was a show with potential, but the writing wasn't there. It has some good episodes and moments, for sure.
Enterprise: Oh man, alot of it unfortunately just sucks. Many characters are just written inconsistently and often quite bad. Many of the stories are just weak, even though there are good premises. Archer being a bumbling idiot would be great, if he was actually written to be a bumbling idiot, now he comes of as an idiot because bad writing and characterization. The era of Pre- Federation humanity, and the human first steps into the Trek universe is great on paper, but then most of the show instead becomes a jumbled mess of a "Time War", where they fight aliens called the "Sulibans", because it rhymes with the Talebans I guess. The Time War storyline never really gets a satisfying conclusion, and is basically ejected by Season 3, that has the Xindi arc, which has some good episodes, but also unfortunately loads and loads of Drek. And let's not wven talk about the Nazi Aliens. Season 4 though is actually good. My recommendation is: just watch Season 4 (from episode 2, episode 1 is just tying up the mess Season 3 left the show in with the darn Nazi plot).
I haven't really watched the new stuff, except Picard season 1, that started interesting, but then just became really bad.
But about new Trek, I know people yell about it being WOKE. However these people has never watched Old Trek. Old Trek is WOKE as ****.
Flawed yes but there were no stakes. I lost interestHardly. Rick was a very flawed character, but the smartest man in the universe.
"I'm as smart as you are dumb!" Rick to Morty
Yeah I wasn't a fan of the remakes. Not that the actors were bad it just doesn't compare. I don't know why they want to remake it when I create new characters?
To be fair, Discovery does get better. Even TNG had a shacky start the first couple seasons.
Indeed. DS9 & Voyager had their spotty moments their first come seasons.The first season was a bit rocky.
Lots of shows have a rocky starts. Work out the kinks, see what works & what doesn't and so on.
24 redshift died over the course of TOS.Alot of Red Shirts bought it in the episode Obsession (blood-draining cloud).
Most likely. Although there were the time travels in: The Naked Time, Assignment:Earth, and Tomorrow is Yesterday.And the Federation Time Cops noted that Kirk is the worst offender (biggest file on record) when it comes to temporal violations. In the DS9 ep Trials and Tribble-ations, 2 agents with the dept. stated he had "17 separate temporal violations" (most of which probably came from the events of Star Trek: The Voyage Home).
I know, but that ep saw a lot of Red Shirts get taken out.24 redshift died over the course of TOS.

How could I forget CotEoF? But that one was more of a correction in time, even though Bones caused the time issue to begin with. But as long as there does not seem to be permanent harm, Temporal Investigations generally overlooks temporal incursions. That's how Capt. Sisko got off the hook.I know, but that ep saw a lot of Red Shirts get taken out.
No damage resulted from Tomorrow is Yesterday. They hit the reset button on the things when they sent the pilot of the jet back to the moment they were spotted. As far as any note in history, their "appearance" was just a blip among the plethora of "UFO sightings" of the time.
Also, don't forget The City on the Edge of Forever.
